View details — Alvear Palace HotelWhere you stay shapes your experience of Buenos Aires. Recoleta is the classic choice for luxury: the Alvear Palace Hotel on Avenida Alvear is the grand hotel of the city, and the Palacio Duhau, a Park Hyatt built around a 1930s mansion and its gardens, is on the same avenue. Both are close to Recoleta Cemetery and the main museums. Puerto Madero, by the old docks, is home to the Faena, a five-star hotel with a cabaret, spa and several restaurants.
Palermo suits travellers who want restaurants and nightlife on the doorstep. Hotel Clásico and Home Hotel are both in Palermo Hollywood, the first a four-star with 32 rooms and the second a 20-room boutique with a garden pool, while Legado Mítico in Palermo Soho has 11 rooms named after Argentine icons. San Telmo has more historic character, and Patios de San Telmo occupies a restored tenement with a pool. On a budget, Milhouse Hostel on Avenida de Mayo combines dorms and private rooms with a busy social programme in the historic centre.
